Pablo Neira Ayuso says: ==================== Netfilter/IPVS updates for net-next The following patchset contains Netfilter/IPVS updates for your net-next tree. A couple of new features for nf_tables, and unsorted cleanups and incremental updates for the Netfilter tree. More specifically, they are: 1) Allow to check for TCP option presence via nft_exthdr, patch from Phil Sutter. 2) Add symmetric hash support to nft_hash, from Laura Garcia Liebana. 3) Use pr_cont() in ebt_log, from Joe Perches. 4) Remove some dead code in arp_tables reported via static analysis tool, from Colin Ian King. 5) Consolidate nf_tables expression validation, from Liping Zhang. 6) Consolidate set lookup via nft_set_lookup(). 7) Remove unnecessary rcu read lock side in bridge netfilter, from Florian Westphal. 8) Remove unused variable in nf_reject_ipv4, from Tahee Yoo. 9) Pass nft_ctx struct to object initialization indirections, from Florian Westphal. 10) Add code to integrate conntrack helper into nf_tables, also from Florian. 11) Allow to check if interface index or name exists via NFTA_FIB_F_PRESENT, from Phil Sutter. 12) Simplify resolve_normal_ct(), from Florian. 13) Use per-limit spinlock in nft_limit and xt_limit, from Liping Zhang. 14) Use rwlock in nft_set_rbtree set, also from Liping Zhang. 15) One patch to remove a useless printk at netns init path in ipvs, and several patches to document IPVS knobs. 16) Use refcount_t for reference counter in the Netfilter/IPVS code, from Elena Reshetova. ==================== Signed-off-by: David S.
